Diamond City is a hamlet in southern Alberta, Canada within the Lethbridge County.[2] It is located on Highway 25, approximately 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Lethbridge. The community was so named on account of deposits of coal near the original town site, a resource also called "black diamond".[3]
